Photograph of Himself 1 Dtsgolse Is Horrified to Find Kcprodnetlous la MiiilifWnti $50,000. New York, Dec. 8. The Sun prints an musing account of the circumstances that have been responsible for a suit for damages that has just been begun against the CosmoDolitan llacaxine by George M. Porteous, the agent of the BertiUon system of identifying crlmi .. nals. Delancey Nicoll is Porteous' counsel and filed the papers In the case yesterday. Mr. Porteous has been at work introducing the system of Identi fication in this country for several years. His idea has been to establish central bureau in New Tork or Chi cago, in which would be kept a collec tion, of photographs and measurement of all the criminals In the couhtry. It Is his contention and the contention of the advocates of the system that pho tographs are generally useless for iden tification, because of the possibility of disguise; that Is, a man may grow hla Whiskers In any number of styles, each ne of which makes him a different nan.-so far as a full-face picture goes. Partly to prove this arid partly from r-urtoelty.-a year or bo ago Porteous had lot of pictures taken of himself. There iwere twelve In the set six front view end six side view. He Fays he had only three or four sets of these made, and he Rot the negatives, so that no more could be made. He gave one set away. That was to Major R. W. McClaughney, superintendent of the prison at Pontlac, Mich., who was formerly chief of police of Chicago. None of the other sets, he pays, ever left his possession. About a month ago he was walking In Chicago with a friend, when his at tention was attracted by a set of pho . tographs In a book store window. ItTnder the set was a legend, "Photo irraphs of a Famous Criminal." He topped to look at them, and Identified himself. He rushed into the store, de manding where the pictures came from, and commanding that they be taken from the window. The store man Bald the pictures had been clipped from the November number of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. Porteous bought a copy, and then started oft to find Major lc naughney. On the way he was Rtopped fcy a professional criminal, who greet ed him effusively and told him what tough luck it was to have his picture printed like that. Porteous didn't know the criminal he says, but the fel low Identified him by the pictures. This added to his unhapplness. Photographs Were Loaned. Major McClaughney told him that a fnan named Crofton had borrowed the Bet of pictures for use in the Cosmo politan, but had agreed that before the ntory that was to accompany them was used a proof of It should be Bent to the - Major, so that he might revise it. No tmch proof was ever sent, and the Ma jor was as surprised, and indignant at ythe publication of the article, as was Mr. Porteous. After this explanation Mr, Porteous took time to sit down and readthe article. Nowhere in it did he Jlndtje assertion boldly made that. the those of a criminal. The article waf headed "Identifying Crimi nals; by A. P. B. Crofton." In the course of It there was this which Mr. Porteous concluded might be mistaken to mean him; "The similarity of two photographs fnay often be confusing to the uniniti ated observer, and may even cause an expert to hesitate whenlhey both hap- , pen to be taken In a full-face pose, mi., , i . . w.um iicBiisuun is impoBgiDie wnere a profile portrait is adjoined, for, even fchould there be a resemblance between he two profiles, there will invariably lie a distinct difference In the formation of the ear, supposing that the originals urt really different people. Nature makes no duplicates, and there are no two ears In the world which are abso lutely Identical; there Is, indeed, a dif ference between the right and left ears f the same person. Owing to the great Variety of its curves and hollows, the ear is by far the most important factor nf Identification of the human features. It seems to undergo no modification of form from the time of birth until death, and this immutability, which prevents It playing any part In the changing ex pressions of the face, causes it to at tract less notice than any of the other organs. Our eye is as little accus- nrna.1 t It , . wwut, . u .1. txa uui language to X escribe It "In the various photographs of a pro fessional criminal, taken at consider able Intervals throughout his life, the expression Of his face, the form of his mouth, the arrangement and abund ance of his hair, all change, but his ear remains unalterable, and the iden tity of Its formation In different photo graphs Is sufficient to affirm the iden tity of the Individual. In the set of photographs shown, the apparent dis similarity of the various portriats is denied or offset by the evident Identity of the ear. The photographs in reality Are all of the same man, who was taken at various times In different disguises. It would have been almost Impossible to demonstrate this fact had the pro fits portrait not been adjoined to that 5f the full face. But In the side view the fl Hilarity of the forehead, the angle of the nose, and the formation of the par proclaim the Identity of the original Sfeyonaadoubt." Episode of the Clearing Hones. But Mr. Porteous didn't see what he mid do about it, and he had about Made up his mind to drop the matter. He came to New Tork on a visit, and out Of curiosity he Visited the rlparlnir house. A couple of minutes after he got In there he noticed a gentleman eying him Mlri11l1V Wlfiallv IK wantloma. earn up to him and said, "My friend, what Is your business here?" and he Bald it In way that made Porteous think of the gallery In the Cosmopoli tan, ssr. roneous saia at once mat ne nrw Mr. Porteous, who was Introducing the Bertllloh system of Identifying criminals. "I thought I saw your picture Sn the Cosmopolitan," said the gentle man, and ha added significantly, "and . I had my eye on you." Mr. Porteous Is a friend of Mooney 8 Roland, who own a detective agency, and he visited their office. Mr. Boland t SMksd him how he came to be mugged," and complimented him on MWJUUCT anu vuiuscy OK 111 uie- , BratM. Mr. Porteous got angry clear throes. Finally he went to Mr. Nicoll ad rot aim to sue the Costnopolltaa for , carnages for libel. . A.son, the manager of the Cos fio .M, hM to the Sun reporter yes- . fat these pictures In the regular of business. The article was m. .-n tr'n, and we were told where f-tli idt the pictures. We sent to ' I l i.Intdent of a state prison. LJs xt, ws tsX Vft did not know whom they were pictures of. We did not know Mr: Porteous. We were careful not to mention. any name, and not to say that they were pictures of a criminal. We printed the pictures for exactly the same purpose that he had them made. We have placed the matter In the hands of our counsel, ancLJt has been submitted to some of the best lawyers in the city. They say that there Is no libel whatever in It. We shall certainly fight the case, no matter what it costs." Mr. Porteous was seen at the office of Mooney. & Boland. He said that an offer had been made to print in the next issue of the Cosmopolitan a statement to the effect that the pictures were those of the introducer of the system, and not of a criminal, but that was not satisfactory. His counsel had Informed him, he said, that he had a good case, and he proposed to press it. He did not allege that there was any malice In the publication. There Is not a great deal of resemb lance between the pictures and himself. A trained eye could probably discover a similarity. SlICIDE AT A Fl'XERAL. Mrs. Schnyder Followed Iter Husband's Example Took Poison While the House Was Filled with .Moiirncrsi. New York. Deo. 8. White the funeral of Frank Schnyder, who killed himself last Tuesday, was being held on Fri day afternoon at his home In Her mann avenue., fluttenburg, his young wife, Mary, committed suicide by tak ing "Rough on Rats." Schnyder committed suicide by hang ing himself to a rafter in his livery sta ble. His wife ran to the barn to-call him to dinner, and, as nhe threw open the doors she discovered his body dangling from the end of a rope. They had ben married only five months, and the shock completely pros trated her. She wept inoessantly, and would not be consoled. On Wednesday night the young wife crept to the side of her husband's coffin, and. throwing herself upon It, moaned until she was carried away. On Thursday she was more composed, but repeatedly threat ened to kill herself. Her friends kept a strict watch over her. At 2 o'clock an Friday afternoon the parlor of their home was crowded with friends, who had assembled to attend the funeral service. Mrs. Schnyder re fused to go near the room where the. body was and begged to be left alone in the kitchen. A few minutes later the undertaker who had charge of the funeral, chanced to open the kitchen door, and he saw Mrs. Schnyder lying on the llonr. He called to Dr. Hill, who was In the ves tibule. It took the physician only a momerit to discover she had taken uolson. He administered an antidote, but his efforts wereof no avail, and Mrs. Schnyder died while her husband's body was being carried to the hearse. When the suicide was told to the mourners women fainted ana became hysterical, and every mun had tears in hi a eyes: The husband's body was taken back Into the house, and the hearse and car riages were driven back to the stables, The funeral of both husband and wife will be held this afternoon at their home, and they will be buried in the same grave.

Following the discovery of the bodies of Mr. Merrill and his daughter, who were murdered by the Apaches, comes a report from the lower Gila valley, near San Carlos reservation, that he bodies of four more murdered whites have been found. This Is thought to indicate an outbreak of a much larger number of Apaches than was upposed. Large bodies of men are scouring the San Simon and PJlais valleys. The troops from the posts of (Jrant, Hua chuca, and Bayard have taken the field. Fort Grant, Ariz., Deo. 8.

DESPERATE THIEF CAPTURED Found in Ills Shanty on the Mountain Top' West of Esnpus. Poughkeepsle, Dee. 8. After an all dny search Deputy Sheriff Byrnes and three other officers this afternoon ran down and captured Martin Slater, the leader of a gang of thieves who have been operating In the Hudson River valley for ten years past. Slater was found In a shanty in the wildest part of the woods west of.Esopus. Slater was speedily found In the hut crouch ing behind an old'lounge in a small, dark closet. He la now In Jail In this city. Martin Slater and his brother, who Is also In custody, own a sloop which they have employed In their nefarious ex ploits. After a successful raid they would pack their booty In barrels and boxes anl ship it to New York from Pell's Landing by the Koundout boats. Martin was much feared, and for years people have quietly suffered loss at his hands rather than complain. Officer Byrnes Is on track of the rest of the gang, s HUMAN SKELETONS FOUND. Supposed to lie Pennsylvania Land-Bayers Murdered for Their Honey. Topeka, Kan., Doc 8. In tearing out the wall of an abandoned cellar near Lamed, over which a farmhouse was burned some time since, workmen dis covered a perfect human skeleton. Ad ditional excavation was made, and the party .was surprised to And four other skeletons, all evidently the remains of large-sized men. It Is believed the skeletons are the re mains of a party of land buyers who went to western Kansas in 1880 from Pennsylvania, and who were never heard -of after reaching Dodge City.' They were probably murdered for their money by cowboys. t ATTACKS f OOTBALL. Dr. F.vsne Classes the College Pastime . with Prize and Bull Fights. Galesburg, III., Dee. 8. Dr. Evans, president of Heddlng college, Abingdon, In an article published today, savagely attacks foot ball and announces that he has prohibited the game at Heddlng. He criticises thf dally press for giving so much space 'to the game, and says that whole pages have been filled with sensational recital of games. He asserts that foot ball has become a disgrace to college life and Christian civilisation, and classes It with nrlze and bull fights. He affirms that It has a demoralizing influence on college girls also, picturing tnem as yelling with delight over shocking brutality to play era. ; '.,(' ,. t. Fosad by the Roadside Mardered'.

BACKED BY WESTERN MINERS The "Patriots of America" Will Work for Coinage at 16 to 1-An Endeavor Will Be Made to Swing One of the Old Parties Into Line. Chicago, Doc. 8. The free-silver lead ers ot the country have arranged for the murshalllng of their forces by means of a - secret political order or society, which will be Incorporated un der Illinois laws in a few days. They hope to control the election of 1896, and to dictate terms to one or both of the great parties. The new order is to be known as the "Patriots of America," and will have as its main object the restoration of the free coinage of silver at a 16 to 1 ratio. It owes Its origin to W. H. Harvey, author of "Coin's Financial School," and Is also backed by the National Bimetallic league, the Western mine owners and the friends and advocates of free silver generally. The success of Harvey's free-silver literature has brought him into promin ence and made him practically the lead ing light In the radical bimetallic move ment. He has maintained expensive ofnees In the Fort Dearborn building in thin city and has been active In the dissemination of free-silver llternture. Hla ambition, however, appears not to have stopped at this point, for he con ceived the Idea of a secret political order In the cause of free silver, which has now assumed tangible form, and which will give him commanding Influ ence In the campaign of '96 among those who favor a change In the llnanclnl pol icy of the government. Chicago Bureau at Work. ''' Harvey's publications attracted the attention of the friends of silver, and made Chicago the headquarters of the froe silver propaganda. Last summer a free-silver bureau was established here, backed by Western capitalists, with ex-Representative H. F. Bartlne. of Nevada, and E. H. Light, a well known Western man. In charge. Under their direction the National Rlmetalllc league was organized, and they also began the publication of a weekly pa per. The National Blmetalllst." A can vass wus made of every county in the United States, except those in New Knglund, and thousands of letters went out from Harvey's office to leading men of all parties, who. It was thought, could be "trusted." The letter In question read as follows: Dear Sir: We wish to know the name of one reliable, zealous, patriotic man in each county In your state, In hearty sympathy with our cause, with whom Mr. Hawley wishes to communicate at once concerning the organization of our forces. While you may not be able to furnish us all the names desired, yet please make the Mist as complete as you can, and we will push the Inquiry through others. Give the name of no one who is not reliable anS earnestly attached to our cause. We do not want the name of any one who Is a partisan, or who Is likely to follow his party, should It go wrong on this question. The names wo do want are those who would bolt their party In case It de clared In favor of the present financial policy of the government, or equivo cated on the subject. - Mans of the Leaders. These letters were sent out in Sep tember and elicited replies from every part of the country. The free silver champions propose, through the order, to establish a per manent organization In every county In the United States, with members pledged to support only the party and candidates known to be unalterably In favor ot the restoration of free silver coinage at the IB to 1 ratio. The liter ature of the "Patriots of America" points out what Is termed the "danger to American institutions through the dominance of foreign monetary Inter ests," and appeals to all patriotic Am ericans to throw aside party lines and adopt a financial system on a bimetal lic basils. Over one thousand local or ganizations representing every section of the country, are ready to receive their charters the first ot the year, and will obtain the ritual and other work ing material from the Chicago, head quarters. No apodal party hns apparently been selected to act as the sponsor to this movement, but It seems rather to be an effort In the direction of establishing a free silver party for the campaign of '96. Its promoters In thirty or more states represent Republican, Demo cratic and Populist faith, and Include amonff their number men of promi nence. If it is found Impossible to swing either of the great parties Into line for free sliver, the present plans call for a national conference, of silver men early In the summer of '96, and the nomination of a separate ticket for the presidential campaign.. DISASTERS IN GERMANY. Great Loss of Life and Property by Qhios and Flood. Berlin. Dec. 8. The gales whlcfc have prevailed throughout Germany, with their resultant disasters still continue.

Perry, Okla., Dec. 8. Following the suit filed by Mrs. Allda Breeze Ram sey for a divorce from her husband, Dr. Etam B. Ramsey, of Kansas City, Kan., alleging gross neglect and Incom patibility of temperament, the doctor has Bled a suit against M. V. B. Morse, of Chicago, asking 150,000 for alienating the affections of Mrs. Ramsey. ' Morse' Is a "grandson tf flamuel F. B. Morse inventor of the telegraph, and Is general western agent 'for the Kerlte Wire : company, of New York. Mrs, Rainsey, before her marriage, was Miss Allda Breese, youngest daughter of Chief Justice Breeze, of the Illlnlos 8u- preme court. ne is reiatsa mrougn i hntli W fathor end ha nntW i Mr I Mors.

Morrison, of Illinois, Is her cousin, Dr. Ramsey Is a brother of Rufus N. Ramsey, one state treasurer of minols. . The doctor has been see In Kansas City. He said he married Mrs. Ramsey In Carlisle, III., In 1876. Six children were born to them. Four are living. Until the time Mrs. Ramsey's "Cousin Phln" appeared, the home of the couple had been happy. Boon afterward, how ever, the doctor noticed a change, and, upon speaking to his wife about it, she informed him that she no longer loved him; that their tastes were dif ferent; that he was not able to support her In the style to which she was ac customed, and it was, therefore, better that they should part. The doctor charges that "Cousin Phln" put these notions Into his wife's head, and there byallenated her affections. He says he Is willing that his wife should have a divorce, if she will give him the chil dren. Otherwise he proposes to fight the case to the bitter end. He closed his Interview by saying: "Notwithstanding the difficulties that have arisen, I believe the honor of my wife to be above reproach. Her asso ciations with Morse have caused her to contrast the difference in the social circles in which our families have moved, and she has become ambitious to enjoy the privileges to which her lineage entitles her." TROUBLE IN VENEZUELA.".' Reports of an Insurrection Against the Crespo Government. ' New York, Dec. 8. The steamer Venezuela, from Venezuela, brings news of a serious insurrection at Maracaibo and Coro aglnst the Crespo Govern ment, which was still In ful swing when the steamer left La Guayra. . Particulars of .the exact causes lead ing to the revolt against the estab lished government were difficult to od taln up to December 1, when the Vene zuela left La Guayra, but Ueneral Cres po, the president, had taken most ener getic measures for the prompt suppres sion of the revolt. He had at once dis patched two armed schooners in tow ot tugs from La Guayra, and had shipped 500 men aboard of them. Business at Maracaibo was practic ally at a standstill, ami it was only by great efforts that the agents of the Red D Line had succeeded in dispatching the small coastwise steamer with tne cargo from that port to be loaded aboard the Venezuela at La Guayra. Tne leader of the Insurrection Is said to bo Rojas Paul, who has been at Curacoa for some time laying his plans. All sorts of Indefinite rumors were afloat at the time of the Venezuela's depart ure, but no anxiety was felt.apparently, as to the action of Great Britain in re erard to the boundary question. The Spanish Minister had Just arrived from Porto Rico, but had not had an audi ence with Crespo. . INDUSTRIAL. Tha flc-Vi thnt wns made last year by a committee composed of a number of prominent stockholders of the Lehigh Valley railroad company for representa tion on the board or a change of man agement, is to be resumed again this year, but this time the fight Is to be made by Dick Brothers & Co., who have recently become owners, either in their name or by representation, of a large block of stock In the Lenign v al ley railroad company. To secure co operation of all those who are not In accord with the present management, the following letter has beeen sent to the stockholders: "You may remem ber last year, at the Instance of stock holders and bondholders of the Lelilgh Valley railroad company , who felt that the management of this property need ed somo changes, we took part In a movement in that direction, and the changes which followed have no doubt renulted beneficially to the company. To restore this property to the high po. sltlon It formerly occupied and perma nently to the dividend list, we believe further changes In the management should be effected. We would like to huve your views upon this subject and also as to whether or not you will sup port us this year, as you, did last. We it. ight say in conclusion, that our repre sentation of the stocks and bonds In the' Lehigh Valley Is very large, per haps the largest outside the Packer f imily. We are believers In the prop erty as a property, but feel that is is not managed with the ability of the Pennsylvania railroad, the Delaware, Lacawkanna and Western or other suc cessful corporations." The steel rail pool has been reorgan ized for 1806. Rails are quoted at $28 a ton, with small likelihood of an ad vance It Is reported that the Ohio Steel company has been taken into the pool, which conslBts beside of the Car negie, Illinois, Cambria, Lackawanna and Bethlehem Steel companies. An offer has been made to the city of Blnghamton to keep Its asphalt pav ing in repair for 4.8 cents per square' yard, or 2 cents per square yard if the space about street car tracks be ex cepted and If the asphalt Is not sprin kled. The Pensylvanla railroad company has solicited bids on 2.000 freight cars, and should the award be made this month It wll mean that the company has ordered 7,000 this year. RAILROAD NOTES. General Pasenger Agent Ford, of Pensylvanla, says: We expect to con vince the directors of the Pulman com pany that the upper berth, rate should be 25,per cent, less than the lower berth rate. Such a reduction will diminish the expenses of the railroad companies, will Increase the earnings of the Pull man company and will be a benefit to the public. Some of the railway managers are Issuing orders to the effect that no trainmen will be allowed to be on duty over eighteen hours continuously. In these cases an engineer Is limited to VOW mlleB a month. This will give a freight engineer 8150 per month. Cases have come to light recently where en gineers have made nearly 8250 per Month by worklngover their usual num ber ot runs. , The Southern Pacific has adopted a new measure to' break the business of scalping tickets. Richard H. Collier has bren arrested on a charge of false personation, growing out of an attempt on his part to travel East on a scalper's ticket. It win be made a test case. The company has announced Its de termination to push the charge against Collier to the highest courts, if neces sary. .
